0de3eeb623 xen: add capability to load p2m list outside of kernel mapping
Modern pvops linux kernels support a p2m list not covered by the
kernel mapping. This capability is flagged by an elf-note specifying
the virtual address the kernel is expecting the p2m list to be mapped
to.

In case the elf-note is set by the kernel don't place the p2m list
into the kernel mapping, but map it to the given address. This will
allow to support domains with larger memory, as the kernel mapping is
limited to 2GB and a domain with huge memory in the TB range will have
a p2m list larger than this.

5500cefccd xen: add capability to load initrd outside of initial mapping
Modern pvops linux kernels support an initrd not covered by the initial
mapping. This capability is flagged by an elf-note.

In case the elf-note is set by the kernel don't place the initrd into
the initial mapping. This will allow to load larger initrds and/or
support domains with larger memory, as the initial mapping is limited
to 2GB and it is containing the p2m list.

bcd7fb9fd2 loader: add support for passing verity hash to xen kernels
This only supports DomU Linux bzImage, ignoring bare ELF images and
Dom0 Xen+Linux but those cases are not applicable to us on CoreOS.
